Quik Meds hired Frank as a delivery driver. Because there was a backlog of deliveries, the company allowed Frank to work pending the outcome of his background investigation. Shortly after he was hired, Frank was caught stealing a customer's purse. The customer was injured in the scuffle over her purse. The customer later sued Quik Meds for negligent hiring. Quik Meds defended itself by arguing it was not liable for an employee's actions. Is this a viable defense?
Select one:
a. Yes, because employees are liable for their own torts.
b. Yes, because Frank was not acting on behalf of Quik Meds when he engaged in the misconduct.
c. No, because Quik Meds failed to conduct a background search on Frank.
d. No, because Quik Meds is strictly liable for employee on-the-job conduct.
Answer:
C, No, because Quik Medds failed to conduct a background search on Frank.
Explanation:
The defense of Quik Meds in the case of their customer against the company is not viable. This is because the result of the background checks on Frank had not returned or background check before he was employed.

Paper Exchange has 80 million shares of common stock outstanding, 60 million shares of preferred stock outstanding, and 50 thousand bonds. If the common shares are selling for $20 per share, the preferred shares are selling for $10 per share, and the bonds are selling for 105 percent of par, what would be the weight used for preferred stock in the computation of Paper's WACC?
Answer:
26.64%
Explanation:
Common stocks outstanding (C) = 80 million
Preffered stock outstanding (P) = 60 million
Number of bonds (B) = 50,000
Cost of common stock (Cc) = $20 per share
Cost of Preffered stock (Cp) = $10 per share
Cost of bond (Cb) = 105% of par
Weight of preferred stock :
(P * Cp) / [(P*Cp) + (C*Cc) + (B * Cb * par value)]
(60mill * $10) / [(60mill * $10) + (80mill * $20) + (50000 * 1.05 * 1000)]
600mill / (600 mill + 1600mill + 52.5mill)
600,000,000 / 2252500000
= 0.2663706
= 26.64%

Using the following balance sheet and income statement data, what is the debt to assets ratio? Current assets $14,000 Net income $ 21,000 Current liabilities 8,000 Stockholder's Equity 39,000 Average assets 80,000 Total liabilities 21,000 Total assets 60,000 Average common shares outstanding was 10,000.
Answer:
35%
Explanation:
The following information were derived from a balance sheet and income statement data
Current assets is $14,000
Net income is $21,000
Current liabilities is 8,000
Stock holders equity is 39,000
Average assets is 80,000
Total liabilities is 21,000
Total assets is 60,000
Therefore, the debt to assets ratio can be calculated as follows
= Total liabilities/Total assets
= 21,000/60,000
= 0.35×100
= 35%
Hence the debt to assets ratio is 35%

A company purchased property for $100,000. The property included a building, a parking lot, and land. The building was appraised at $54,000; the land at $51,400, and the parking lot at $19,600. Land should be recorded in the accounting records with an allocated cost of: Multiple Choice $0. $51,400. $100,000. $47,120. $41,120.
Answer:
$41,120
Explanation:
Since we know that assets are recorded in accounting at their purchase price including related costs.
Therefore;
The total appraised value = $54,000 + $51,400 + $19,600
= $125,000
Since the appraisal value for the land is $51,400, then the land will be recorded as ;
= $51,400/$125,000 × $100,000
= $41,120

The federal budget is balanced and the economy is on the upward-sloping portion of the Laffer curve. Then, tax rates are cut and government purchases are increased. Is a budget deficit inevitable?
Answer:
Yes, the budget deficit is inevitable.
Explanation:
When the economy is on the upward-sloping portion of the Laffer Curve, any increase in tax rates will produce more revenue, and any decrease in tax rates will produce less revenue. This is because tax rates are not yet at the optimal point of the Laffer curve.
In this case, the federal budget was balanced, but the goverment cut tax rates while being on the upward-sloping portion of the Laffer curve, which means that tax revenue decreased. However, at the same time the government increased government purchases, and the combination of less tax revenue and more government spending will naturally result in a budget deficit.

A buyer and a seller enter a contract for the sale of a three-bedroom residential property. Shortly after the contract is in place, the buyer has an inspection done. As a result of the inspection, the buyer wants the seller to fix the fence and replace the garage door opener. The seller refuses. How should the parties proceed
Answer:
Explanation:
In this specific scenario, it can be said that the fixes do not become part of the sales agreement. Both parties agreed to the details specified in the contract/agreement, therefore if one of the involved parties is not willing to agree to a specific amendment to a contract then ultimately the original contract remains in place. Meaning that the seller has no legal obligation to fix the fence or garage door opener, and a new agreement must be created for those fixes, while the original agreement stands.

In January, Stitch, Inc. adopted the dollar-value LIFO method of inventory valuation. At adoption, inventory was valued at $50,000. During the year, inventory increased $30,000 using base-year prices, and prices increased 10%. The designated market value of Stitch's inventory exceeded its cost at year end. What amount of inventory should Stitch report in its year-end balance sheet
Answer:
$83,000
Explanation:
Calculation of the amount of inventory that Stitch should report in its year-end balance sheet
First step is to calculate for the 10% price increase
Increase price = ( $30,000 x 10% ) =$3,000
Second step is to add up the price increase to the amount of increase in inventory
$30,000 + $3,000 =$33,000
Hence, $33,000 will now be the increased in price inventory
Last step is to calculate for the amount of inventory that Stitch should report in its year-end balance sheet
Using this formula
Inventory to be reported = Valued of the Adoption inventory + Increase price Inventory
Where,
Adoption inventory value= $50,000
Increase price Inventory=$33,000
Let plug in the formula
Inventory to be reported = $50,000 + $33,000
Inventory to be reported =$83,000
Therefore the amount of inventory that Stitch should report in its year-end balance sheet will be $83,000
